    NKR FOREIGN MINISTER IN USA

    Azat Artsakh - Nagorno Karabakh Republic (NKR)
    29 Oct 04

    On October 23 NKR foreign minister Ashot Ghulian delivered a speech at
    the conference `Armenia and the South Caucasus and Challenges to
    Foreign Policy' organized by the University of Michigan in the town
    Ann Arbor. One of the topics of the conference was the problem of
    Nagorni Karabakh and prospects of settlement. At the conference were
    present former mediators in talks for the settlement of the Karabakh
    conflict and representatives of the conflict sides. In his report the
    foreign minister of NKR presented the prehistory of the Karabakh
    conflict, the official position of the NKR authorities in the
    settlement ofthe conflict, as well as touched upon the problems of
    security of Nagorni Karabakh and regional security pointing out the
    necessity of interest of all the peoples involved in conflicts for
    maintaining lasting peace and security inthe region. After the address
    the foreign minister of NKR answered the questions of the participants.

    On October 25 the minister arrived in Washington and at the NKR
    legation he met with the American co-chairman of the OSCE Minsk Group
    Stephen Mann. They discussed questions referring to the prospects of
    regulation of the Karabakh conflict in the context of the latest
    developments. During the talk the factors were mentioned which hinder
    the settlement, in particular,the militarist statements regularly
    published by Azerbaijan which arouse hostile moods in the conflict
    parties. The foreign minister also emphasized the significance of the
    potential of the societies involved in the conflict, which
    unfortunately is not used because of the non-constructive position of
    Azerbaijan. In his turn the American co-chairman pointed out the role
    of the political will of the authorities of confronting sides, as well
    as the favourable public opinion in maintaining peace. In the evening
    of the same day the foreign minister of NKR left for Chicago.
